It’s true! In a recent post, Having lost their flexibility, pro-lifers are losing their cause, poor Megan can’t help lying her ass off even when (apparently) she doesn’t want to! Let’s start with her headline: “Having lost their flexibility, pro-lifers are losing their cause”. What was the great rallying cry of the pro-life folks prior…
Tag: Megan McArdle
Megan McArdle is an idiot, a liar, and well deserving of many other harsh and insulting adjectives that my fingers lack the energy to type.
Yes, I am getting awfully tired to yelling insults at Megan McArdle. Why, it seems like I was yelling at Megan only three weeks ago for her arrant hypocrisy in blaming the fall of pro-seditionist Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker on the Democratic Party, because I was!. And now she’s turned around and written the…
There are two kinds of Republicans: True Trumpers and Cowards. Megan McArdle is not a True Trumper
I have, before—many times before—ridiculed dear Megan’s frequent efforts to find something—anything—to criticize about the Democratic Party rather than deal with the elephant-sized pile of dung in the room that is the current day Republican Party. In her latest “just trying to be helpful” effort—Democrats should have helped McCarthy hold his job — for their…
Megan McArdle, keepin’ it cool
On August 1, 2023, former President Donald Trump was formally charged in federal court with four felonies, as a result of his efforts to defy the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and remain in office after January 20, 2021. On August 3, 2023 Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle ran her weekly column, this one…
Shorter Megan McArdle: “Yes, I am a lying hypocrite. Why do you ask?”
Alan Vanneman non-fave rave Megan McArdle has had a revelation: “It’s time for Republicans to save themselves”. According to Ms. Mc By mid-February 2016, it was clear that some kind of collective Republican action would be needed to keep Donald Trump from winning the nomination. Instead, everyone stood around hoping that someone else would do…
The Democratic Party has a duty to ensure that the Republican Party will nominate Senate candidates who will defeat their Democratic opponents in November, Megan McArdle explains
Why are the Republicans putting up such shitty candidates for the Senate this year? So shitty that the Democrats might actually maintain control of the Senate in what should be a shitty year for them? Well, it’s all the Democrats’ fault, says Megan McArdle, who apparently likes to think of herself as the “thoughtful” (“thoughtful”…
Short takes
Donald Trump not a nice person, Megan McArdle discovers Well, he isn’t. As Megan explains, following the announcement by Texas Republican Representative Will Hurd, the sole black Republican in the House, that he is retiring: All of which [Hurd’s intelligence, honesty, and decency] makes Hurd’s impending departure the perfect symbol of what has happened to…
Ramesh Ponnuru explains some of it—but only some of it—for you
Over at Bloomberg, Ramesh Ponnuru, sometime truth-teller on the Republican1 side of the aisle, comes up a little short with his take on the Republican tax “reform” package, headed “Tax Reform’s Losers Can Afford the Loss”. Ponnuru praises the bill because it “caps the tax deduction for mortgage interest at a loan value of $500,000,…
Yo, Megan McArdle! It should be “Be Careful WHOM You Call a ‘White Supremacist’”!
Well, it should be, and you should be too. You should be very careful, very very careful, as Megan explains, at great length, and with great vagueness, over at Bloomberg Review. Sure, you should be. It was highly stupid, not to mention highly condescending—and even borderline racist—for Vice President Biden to warn blacks that Republicans…
Enter Megan McArdle. Cue the faux head-shaking.
O Democrats! O Republicans! They’re both so cwaazzzy! So quoth Bloomsberg babe Megan McArdle, in a recent piece over the low-intensity but long-continuing furor over the inheritance tax/death tax. Sure, Republicans are a bit wacky for getting so sentimental over the supposed heartlessness of taxing multi-million-dollar inheritances, says Megan, but you know something? Those Democrats…
